looks like you have not configured a source listening on the ip w.x.y.z and port 5140 on the server which should receive the syslog messages .... and of course you are only using w.x.y.z and not a valid ip adress do not reveal the ip to us ;-)
in the servers syslo-ng config you have to configure:
source loghost { tcp( ip(w.x.y.z) port(5140)); };
... don't hesitate to read the manual ... it's good ;-)
But I do have the "source loghost..." on the server side, not on the client side. Here's my syslog-ng.conf on the server side (server1). I read the manual but I'm not comprehending some of the explanations :-) I read the "Configuring syslog-ng client" but it gives a list of "to do" rather than "how to." syslog-ng 2.0.4, Solaris 10, client side is running MP (multi-path, and I'm not sure if MP causes any problem?)
